'MeToo' shaping up as force to be reckoned with in sexual abuse

Every year-end, TIME magazine selects an influential individual as Person of the Year.

In 2015, it was German Chancellor Angela Merkel for her commitment to accepting refugees. Last year, the magazine picked U.S. President-elect Donald Trump for his "accomplishment" of dividing the nation by winning the presidential election.

But this year, five women made the TIME cover by edging out North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and other candidates.

Dubbed "The Silence Breakers," the group includes an actress who testified against an influential film executive over allegations of sexual misconduct.
